Local shops are estimated to contribute 3 times more money to the local economy than chain stores. Help Cincinnati break the chain.

On Saturday, November 17th, some of the city's best locally-owned independent stores are celebrating Cincinnati Unchained in their own way. Here's a list of special promotions throughout the city. And, don't forget, the Cincinnati Unchained afterparty will be at Below Zero Lounge from 8pm to 11pm - see you there!
